I was in my summerhouse last year when a swarm showed up and within minutes the whole house was getting black and they were trying to get into the house. I made a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xst1HYJK9Og Seeing them in such huge numbers is terrifying, I totally see why people during biblical times thought the end was nigh.

That was October last year and they got into my car. Now in Sweden I saw some of them crawling out of the car last month when it got a bit warmer.



Offtopic, but does your summerhouse have wired internet access or LTE and if so what speed (down/up) and cost? Just curious.


We use a local provider http://www.trans.net.pl/ and they have some special setup I'm not sure what it's called but I think it's long range wifi and they use a satelite dish as the antenna. The speed is not super great, especially the uplink is to low for us with 1 Mbit/s and we need to stream cctv from there continously, but the downlink is ok with 20 Mbit/s and we pay 56,12 zł which is about $15 per month.


I live in the US, in a small city, and I have DSL. It is $50/mo and downlink is 6Mbps, while upload is 768kbps. That is the fastest available speed.


At home in Sweden I have 250 down 100 up for around $38. I can get 1000/100 for $74 here too but I don't have use for such a huge down link.
